Nexium and discharge *update in comments*

OK so I have had protonix in the hospital. And it works great. However, I need a new script for protonix. I thought that it was sold otc but apparently its not. But I want something that I can buy otc so I don't have to be in between refills. I bought the nexium 24hr 22 mg hoping it would be enough. So, I would have to take once or twice a day? 22 mg doesn't seem like much

And btw, is anyone else experiencing an excess of vag discharge??? It's crazy. I have never had so much discharge in my life! It's sooo weird

they're all different in regards to mg, zantac the max daily dose is 600 and protonix is 40, so it's all relative. I tried prescription nexium and can't remember the dosage, but I do remember I was to only take it once. I don't think there was a diff between script and otc nexium, except that my copay for the script was only 8 bucks so that's how I did it. I don't know if that was any help or not.

I've been having a lot of discharge, but it's very common in the third trimester to have a huge increase in discharge, so I expected that. Keep an eye out for strange colors or smells, you'll need to get tested for infections if you find anything unusual about the discharge.

Well it's just strange to me since I have never been one to have much discharge. Not even in my first pregnancy. But it is a weird greenish-yellow color. So odd. I'm sure in the hospital they would detected something, if I had any infection. But anyhoo, I'm gonna ask my doc about on monday

Yeah, I would ask to have it swabbed and checked for infection, especially if it has any greenish tint at all. I didn't have this kind of discharge in my first pregnancy either. Everyone was right when they told me that all pregnancies are different - they were just right in a very bad way. Lol.

Oh gosh :/ I hope its not an infection. It's weird cuz the last time I was at the hospital was this past monday, and I specifically asked for them to check for infection, especially since I'm still experiencing burning when I pee and after too. However they said I didn't have an infection. It makes me wonder if something else is wrong...

I saw my OB today. Turns out I do have an infection. She sent me home with antibiotics. Hopefully I can keep them down. But now I'm worried cuz I been having symptoms for weeks. Maybe 2 months or so. Is that long enough for the infection to spread? I've been having serious lower back pain. Buy it's so hard to decipher what pain is serious and what isn't :/ I try not to be a baby about it, but I can't help worry in the back of my mind if maybe it's something serious
